Missing Higgs

Missing Higgs
A major breakthrough in particle physics came in the 1970s when physicists realized that there are very close ties between two of the four fundamental forces – namely, the weak force and the electromagnetic force. The two forces can be described within the same theory, which forms the basis of the Standard Model. This ‘unification’ implies that electricity, magnetism, light and some types of radioactivity are all manifestations of a single underlying force called, unsurprisingly, the electroweak force. But in order for this unification to work mathematically, it requires that the force-carrying particles have no mass. We know from experiments that this is not true, so physicists Peter Higgs, Robert Brout and François Englert came up with a solution to solve this conundrum.


They suggested that all particles had no mass just after the Big Bang. As the Universe cooled and the temperature fell below a critical value, an invisible force field called the ‘Higgs field’ was formed together with the associated ‘Higgs boson’. The field prevails throughout the cosmos: any particles that interact with it are given a mass via the Higgs boson. The more they interact, the heavier they become, whereas particles that never interact are left with no mass at all.

This idea provided a satisfactory solution and fitted well with established theories and phenomena. The problem is that no one has ever observed the Higgs boson in an experiment to confirm the theory. Finding this particle would give an insight into why particles have certain mass, and help to develop subsequent physics. The technical problem is that we do not know the mass of the Higgs boson itself, which makes it more difficult to identify. Physicists have to look for it by systematically searching a range of mass within which it is predicted to exist. The yet unexplored range is accessible using the Large Hadron Collider, which will determine the existence of the Higgs boson. If it turns out that we cannot find it, this will leave the field wide open for physicists to develop a completely new theory to explain the origin of particle mass.

79' Jutson

Brindabella’, an icon of Australian yachting.

Outstanding, all round, high performance, ocean racing yacht. Her current configuration ensures she is equally at home around the cans, blue water racing or sailing short handed.

Continually upgraded and optimized as the rating rules have permitted, including carbon rudder and boom 1996, carbon mast 1997, increased J measurement and bow modification 1998, new keel 2001 and LOA lengthened at bow and stern 2001

The ‘Brindabella’ design is a happy marriage of a medium to light displacement yacht with significant internal volume, minimal structural interference to rearrangements in accommodation, yet has the ability to perform well under IMS or IRC and subject to modification, would become a powerful cruiser/racer.

CANNES LUXURY VİLLA

Relax and enjoy, we take care of therest...ent a furnished luxury villa in Cannes and on the French Riviera. We have created this new concept which does not only provide a property but also all the services required to make your stay with us a perfect moment. In fact, we believe that the true essence of luxury and comfort today is to have a “home” in any country you visit. 5 star hotels try to make this true, but honestly, even a presidential suite does not provide the flexibility, comfort and privacy, which some of our properties naturally have. Therefore, all our rentals include a personalized welcome service, a conciergerie service available over the phone with access to professional nannies, butlers, private chefs, driver service and many more. Needless to say that we also provide the cleaning service and all the needed linen and towels during your stay.

This magnificent and elegant "Belle Epoque" villa is located in the very centre of Cannes on the French Riviera.

Superbly situated just 10 minutes walk to the beaches of Cannes, the Croisette and the Palais des Festivals, home of the world famous Cannes Film Festival and just 30 minutes drive from Nice International Airport.
